We’ve got a full schedule of events coming up next week, and I’d love to see you at one of them. At today’s stop, we opened the floor for a Q&A and had great conversations about everything from strengthening Iowa agriculture and improving soil health, to building stronger rural communities and creating more opportunities to keep our kids here in Iowa. Thank you to everyone who came, asked thoughtful questions, and shared your ideas. These conversations matter, and they’re how we’ll build real solutions together. Stay tuned for details on our upcoming events!

Iowa faces many challenges: Our kids are leaving, we're losing family farms, we have one of the fastest rates of new cancer, and our education system is in the bottom half. Over the next four months, our campaign will be laser focused on the issues and how we can make our state better.

The full clip from the Obama town hall while I was in college in 2009. Plus commentary from one of my heroes in the conservative movement. Listened to him every day. I still remember hearing great Grandma say “Rush is on”. God bless Rush Limbaugh. 🇺🇸🎙️

Being a conservative is more than just wanting low taxes and low regulations. If your kids are leaving and your people are getting cancer, you're not conserving what’s most important. We can and will do both. Clean water, low taxes. Iowa First Values. LFG

My invitation is simple: Give the people of Iowa what they deserve— the opportunity to hear an honest, in-depth discussion about our visions, solutions, and policies for the future of our state. This past March, I stopped by Rob Sand’s office and asked him if he’d be willing to participate in a series of Lincoln-Douglas-style debates across Iowa if I won the Republican primary. He happily agreed and even gave me a high five. Fast forward to today... After winning the Republican primary in June, I’m still waiting for Rob to honor that commitment. I want to have an open, substantive conversation about our competing ideas for Iowa. I believe this debate format would not only better serve Iowa voters, but also set an example for how campaigns across the country can engage in respectful, meaningful dialogue. No fluff. No spin. No 30-second sound bites. Just two candidates. Real conversation. Honest debate. Let the people decide. Your move Rob Sand.

One of the first pieces of legislation I’d like to pass in office is an Iowa First Food Freedom bill. An Iowa First Food Freedom Bill is about putting Iowa farmers, Iowa families, and Iowa-grown food first. The goal isn’t just to make it easier to grow food— it’s to make it easier for Iowans to eat food grown right here at home.

Government works best when power is closest to the people. Emergency powers should be reserved for true emergencies— not open-ended authority with little oversight. Limiting those powers strengthens accountability and protects the constitutional balance between the executive, legislature, and the people. The same principle applies to local government. The people of Mahaska County don’t face the same challenges as those in Palo Alto County. Decisions about local priorities are often best made by the communities that know them best. Less power concentrated at the top. More trust in local leaders. More accountability to the people. That’s what it means to put Iowans and #IowaFirst.

My Great-Great Grandfather Friedrich came to Iowa in 1884 and built the farm my family called home for over 100 years - until we lost it in 2005. In 2014, I bought the farm back so I could pass it down to my kids. This is Iowa. It's our home. And it's worth fighting for. Our new ad 👇

This week's Thursday night consisted of flipping pork chops at the Iowa County fairgrounds and a throwback to some Chuck Schumer memes. 😂

The history of Iowa is defined by the courageous pioneers and crusaders who settled this land, tamed the soil, and put down roots. It's the story of men like James Harlan - who fought to defend the land that Iowans built from the speculators who tried to take it. I am running for Governor to carry on that legacy: Of Iowans who run for office to always put the people over the special interests.

Career politicians have failed us. I call it the Uniparty— and Iowa voters know what I mean. Both parties are implicated in the issues that are facing our state. It's time to put the people of Iowa First.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m ready to debate, but Randy Feenstra needs to be on that stage. Any debate that doesn’t include Randy is nothing more than theatre. So today, I’m issuing a challenge to Randy: four debates, one in each congressional district. Let’s take our ideas directly to the people of Iowa. If you’re not willing to confirm debates by next week, I’ll head to Rob Sand’s office and challenge him to debate instead. Iowans deserve to hear from the candidates. Let’s do this.

The story of America is unmatched in human civilization. It is the story of undaunted courage, of a bloody independence, of a Republic on the brink, of rebuilding & restoring, of rights being secured, and of sacrifice & liberation of those in the old countries who have lost hope. It is the creation of a new, American, identity. An identity that since the founding of our country has been open to those who truly desire to be American and adopt a wholly new spirit of being an American as our ancestors did when arriving on the shores of this foreign land. Theodore Roosevelt, an inspirer of men and a believer in the soul of America and in calling his countrymen to the highest of callings which our founding documents and our faith demand of us, knew that adopting this new American identity was necessary to maintain the fabric of our republic. He knew that anyone “who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.” As a defining characteristic, our American identity is second only to that of our faith. On the 250th anniversary of our country, a country that has secured more rights, alleviated more poverty, ended more suffering for more people than any other on the face of the earth, I am praying for a renewal of the love and desire to adopt that American identity that so many toiled, labored, and bled to preserve. To 250 more years of Independence and a revival of the American spirit.
